The creators of Genshin Impact have begun teasing new content for update 6.6. miHoYo (HoYoverse) presented the first teaser for a heroine named Nicole.
Nicole will have a 5-star rarity, her element is Pyro, and she uses a sword in battle. The girl is known as the Silent "witch" and the voiceless "angel".
The developers haven't shared details about Nicole's gameplay mechanics yet, but they did provide a lore description:
Many stories that Nicole comes up with begin with the words "once upon a time." Perhaps for some authors, "once upon a time" is an excuse to avoid unnecessary questions. After all, if it is said that a story happened long ago, then all the people and events associated with that story have long since vanished without a trace, and in any case, it is impossible to truly return to the past. But in Nicole's mind, these stories of "old times" have never disappeared [...]
The release of the Genshin Impact 6.6 update is expected at the end of May 2026.
